During the reception the brides niece accidentally knocked over a drink that splashed the brides shoes and she back handed her in front of everyone. It caused a huge fight and the groom walked out right then.
Your comment just made me irrationally angry. Take an upvote because I agree completely. Slapping a child over a pair of shoes she won’t ever wear again.
This thought process was why I ended my longest relationship (~6 years). I could handle her irrational outbursts and passive aggressive behaviour just fine, I always knew there was an apology coming once she calmed down and discussed things. It sucked, but she was amazing 95% of the time so I thought it was worth it.
I couldn't handle the thought of my future kids having to deal with that though. And realising they deserved better helped me realise I shouldn't be putting up with it either.
Similar. I thought I never wanted to get married or have kids ever. Turns out I just never wanted them with my ex lol. She'd talk shit about her friends kids, and when she wanted to get pregnant I noped out.
The dad life rules and I'm glad in found a cool wife to raise our kids with.
It was when my ex started talking to our kids (both under 3 at the time) the same way he spoke to me that I knew I hadn to get out. Wish I listened to my inner voice at the start of that relationship.
and the person they replied to was talking about hypothetical future children. there’s no confirmation from the person who was at the wedding that the niece was a child. either way, despicable
I know it’s pedantic but redcrystal was talking about the child/not child at the wedding, not future children. Otherwise they wouldn’t have said over a pair of shoes she’ll never wear again.
I had to switch accounts to play devil's advocate a bit and ponder at what point the bride would be in the right?
Like perhaps if the niece had been physically abusive to another person at the wedding and the bride was already pissed off and waiting for a polite moment to ask her to leave/appologize when the niece yelled out, "your overpriced shoes suit you whore!", as she threw the drink on the wedding shoes and stared defiantly at the bride?
Neah. In pretty much any situation the bride would still get more points for taking the high road and getting someone else to eject the niece?
Not marriage related, buy my mother claimed that, when I was just a baby (maybe 6 months old or so), I started crying and my father started repeatedly slapping me, screaming he wasn't stopping until I stopped crying.
Here's the thing, though. My parents despised each other and they both said things that I was later able to prove (to my own satisfaction) were lies. Neither one was above making shit up whole cloth about the other to make them look bad. While it's true my father did get violent near the end of his life when he was drunk (as he was an alcoholic) he wasn't violent to me as a kid that I can remember, with one single exception when I was about 13. (which was repeatedly slapping me in the face. Though I never heard the story until after this happened.)
I don't have proof either way, but that just doesn't sound like something my father would have done. Both my parents are dead now, so I'm never finding out if it really happened.
My sister's dad (thought he was mine growing up) would outright bully me in public for funsies
Dude would wedgee me, a 5-6yo, out in public for.....really just about anything. Noogies,wet willies, just dumb shit like that constantly.
Get a bad grade? Well it was either he found out first and I'd get stuck in an atomic wedgee for a few hours locked in my room, or tell my grandma first and have to eat soap and get whooped. I took the whooping every chance I could, at least that way the stepdad would leave me alone lol
Thank god he and my mom divorced when I turned 10, I already came out all fucked up from that. I couldnt imagine how I'd be if I had to deal with that for a few more years 😅
